Description

The sidewalk on the little traffic island at this intersection, just adjacent to the fire station, not only has not been shoveled, but seems actually to have been the site of massive snow dumping. The whole island is a giant, view-obstructing mountain of snow -- a danger to drivers making turns, and completely useless to pedestrians trying to cross Grand St., who now have to stand in the street while cars speed through puddles right in front of them. This intersection is already dangerous for pedestrians -- non-functioning ped signals, drivers regularly ignoring red lights etc. -- but now it's much much worse. Please, City, clear this important public space.
